About: My experience with animals started at a young age. Growing up with dogs and cats i learnt to care for them along side my mum who is a full time pet sitter/dog walker, I currently work for my mum when she needs help and at a cattery part time. I went to an animal college for 2 years , studying Animal Management with that i had a work placement at a vets , which i completed 150 hours of learning lots of new skills on how to handle animals and there specific needs. I have experience working with all different types of dogs with different personalities , whilst out walking them or pet sitting. i’ve spent my whole life with dogs and animals and i enjoy ever minute i spend with them and learning about them. I’m currently working part-time but only for a few hours at a time, if your pet can be left for a few hours then that fits into my routine. I’m free weekends , if booked in plenty of time. When in the owners home, i respect there home environment by leaving there home clean and tidy. I listen to the owners rules and regulations when it comes to the pets by sticking to the pets exact routine which keeps the pets happy and content.

“Camilla helped me out massively a few weeks ago following a few plans that fell through last minute. She did a great job in a short time with my Otto and will definitely look to use her again!”

About: Alison & I have been together for 27 years and decided to take early retirement, travel around the UK taking in all the sites whilst carrying out sitting services. We are prepared to travel anywhere in the UK for stays of 10 days + and will undertake longer term sits if requested. Throughout our lives have had or looked after both working and utility dogs and understand the importance of keeping the regime that they are use to, Some of our clients have several dogs in one home that have different exercise and dietary requirements and we ensure that given instructions in regards to the what where and when are adhered to. Early retirement has allowed us to travel the UK looking after pets & houses thus allowing us to explore the areas whilst there, so our time is fully dedicated to your pets. We are happy to look after up to 4 dogs in a clients home and we are happy to look after other small pets you may have along side. We do as we are asked by our clients and always get the measure & behaviour of dogs & cats to ensure all sits work out well. We understand that your pets are part of the family and we ensure they are happy and well cared for.

“Very pleased with Tracy looking after Russet. Tracy always replied promptly to communications and looked after Russet and the house well. Would request Tracy again if she is agreeable.”

“Rowan was brilliant with our two cats, who instantly took to them and clearly felt safe with them. Rowan stayed overnight in our home with the cats, and left it clean, without any concerns. Rowan sent regular updates for how the cats were getting on, including photos. Rowan followed everything we asked of them, which we're very grateful for! We'll be booking Rowan again - thoroughly recommend!”

“We had the pleasure of having Simone stay in our home for 8 days to look after our dog Leo, and we couldn’t be more grateful. After having Leo for over six years, this was the first time I felt truly at ease going on a trip all thanks to Simone. She did a wonderful job, following every instruction perfectly, keeping our home tidy, and most importantly, caring for Leo with genuine love and attention. She kept us regularly updated, and it was clear Leo was happy and comfortable. Simone is responsible, kind, and incredibly trustworthy. We would welcome her back anytime without hesitation. Highly recommended!”

About: I have over two years of experience caring for animals, including both big and small dogs as well as cats. I grew up raising an Alsatian and a Belgian Malinois and so I am confident, caring and patient around animals, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and following each pet’s individual routine. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would want for my own. My pet will fit naturally into my routine alongside work as an Actor, residential care practitioner, caring for children and elderly, with daily care, attention and love. I care for pets in their own home by following their routine, providing food, walks, playtime and companionship, while keeping their environment clean, safe and comfortable.

“Carrie was brilliant with our Boris. He did miss us, but he was settled with her, so we can't ask for more than that! We would definitely use her again. Thank you :)”

About: Specialising in drop in visits and walks. I am fit and healthy and love the outdoors and walking. I would love to get your precious pets out with me in the fresh air to enjoy some little adventures. I have experience of dog care as I own a West Highland Terrier. I have also had bookings and experience on this app ranging from boxers, cocker spaniels, cockerpoos and more. I will make sure you pet is safe, happy and having a fun time :) I am reliable and you can trust me to look after your pet and home. I am available from 9.30am until 1.30pm, and 4.30pm onwards every week day for drop ins or dog walking. During the school holidays I am available anytime. I am also free most weekends - especially when booked in advance. I would prefer ongoing regular clients but I am also open to one offs. I will discuss each pets individual needs with the owner as every animal is different. I will make a note of any special requirements and medical details.

About: I babysit lot so along with this, I have to take care of the pets of the families I work with as they are an extension of the family and I love it so much cause I’m able to build one in a relationship with the pets and they also create a place in my heart for them i’m currently on summer break as a nursing student so a typical day would be starting at around 7 am and my workday finishes at around 10 o’clock so that gives me a lot of free time to walk the dogs. Give them brakes to use the toilet and play with them, give them some snuggles give them some treats and just play with them I live in a fully serviced building, which is incredibly pet friendly and as a result of this the chances of them running away/escaping is very low and I’m not able to offer boarding, but I am able to pet walk your dog come in and do sit - ins with them and bring them over during the day

About: Dog lover doesn’t even cut it 🐕 My Grandma spent her life rehoming dogs of all kinds to the point of 20+ at any given time and my Mum is also a dog groomer with 20+ years of experience who currently has 8 dogs of her own. I’ve lived with, taken care of and owned dozens of different breeds throughout my life. So you could say that being a dog lover is in my blood! I regularly house sit for friends and family members, including the CEO of my business who owns a large farm with 3 dogs, 5 cats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and cows. She, like me, loves nothing more than her animals and puts her trust in me taking care of her beloved furry family members. If I am not free, she doesn’t go away, she doesn’t trust anyone else. Take a look through my gallery of photos and I hope my love and passion for dogs will be glaringly obvious! Your pets wellbeing is my upmost priority and I really hope to meet some of your furry family members very soon. I have a completely flexible full-time remote career on a working from home basis. I also have a full UK drivers license that I’ve had for over 12 years. I purchased my first home a couple of years ago. It is a semi-detached house with stairs and a fenced garden, we also keep the garden gate locked 90% of the time unless it’s bin day. I work from home so I am around all day to make sure they are well looked after and provide plenty of cuddles.

About: We are a friendly, reliable couple with a genuine love of dogs, animals and the outdoors. With three dogs of our own, dogs are very much part of our everyday lives, and we understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with a much-loved member of your family. Alongside our practical experience, Shirley holds a Canine Communication Diploma, awarded with Distinction by the Centre of Excellence. This complements our hands-on experience and helps us to understand canine communication, behaviour and the individual ways dogs express themselves. We also prefer focusing on giving dogs stimulating outdoor experiences rather than simply a quick walk around the block. We love the outdoors and enjoy giving dogs opportunities to walk, explore, sniff and enjoy plenty of enrichment. We are also fortunate to have access to private fields giving us fantastic opportunities for outdoor exercise and enrichment, whilst also providing indoor and outdoor spaces to cater for a better environment for any lovable pet and their individual needs. Having two of us means there is plenty of opportunity for companionship, supervision and individual attention. We understand that every dog is different — from energetic adventurers to older dogs who simply enjoy a gentle wander and plenty of affection — and we adapt our approach accordingly. Above all, we want you to be able to leave your dog with us knowing they will be treated with kindness, patience and respect. We don't just look after dogs — we want them to genuinely enjoy their time with us. 🐾 Caring for dogs fits naturally into our everyday life. As mentioned we have three dogs of our own, so walks, feeding, play, exercise and companionship are already part of our normal daily routine, along with anything else our beloved pets throw at us. We both enjoy being outdoors and can structure our days around the dogs in our care rather than trying to fit them into a busy schedule. Having two of us also means we can share responsibilities and give each dog plenty of individual attention, supervision and Whether your dog enjoys a good outdoor adventure or a quieter routine with shorter walks and plenty of company, we are happy to adapt our day to suit them. Safety and trust are extremely important to us. We understand that leaving your dog with somebody new can be worrying, so we want owners to feel completely comfortable and confident about the care their pet will receive. We have access to private fields with limitrd and no access, providing a better oppurtunity and environment for exercise, enrichment away from public spaces. We are also developing dedicated indoor and outdoor areas so dogs can have appropriate spaces for activity, rest and relaxation. We will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, leads, routines, interaction with other dogs and any individual requirements. We never assume that because something is suitable for one dog it will be suitable for another. As we have dogs ourselves, introductions and compatibility are important to us. We want every dog in our care — including our own — to feel safe and comfortable. We are happy to discuss this fully and arrange an introduction before a stay where appropriate. We will provide responsible supervision, plenty of attention and a calm, caring environment, with your dog's welfare always coming first.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/ponies from a young age.All my friends and family rely on me to care for their fury friends. I love animals so much and I always put their needs first. Having had ponies and dogs from being a baby I have been brought up caring for animals and ensuring their needs are met. I have a flexible working from home job currently so can be on hand to look after your dogs whenever needed. Pet care is part of my daily life and I have 2 loving babies of my own. I have a fenced yard, and 10 acres to keep your pups busy. I treat my own dogs like they are family and they are allowed on the furniture, however if your dog isn’t used to this and is crate trained and sleeps in a bed this is something I can also provide.

“We had never left Tilly with anyone who was not family before and had a limited period to find a siiter (7 days) but the first time we met Jennifer we were immediately reassured. Whilst away we were updated daily via photos and videos which showed a happy contented dog- in fact Tilly looked more contented with Jennifer than with us!!! We came back to a clean and tidy house but more importantly a perfectly healthy and happy dog. We would not hesitate in using Jennifer again- in fact we are already planning trips away working around Jennifer and would highly recommend her.”

“Samantha was great - she followed Caspian’s routine and kept me updated with loads of photos. He was very happy when I got home and if I’m honest I think he’s been missing her since! Will definitely ask her to look after Caspian again in the future, as he clearly had a great time. Would enthusiastically recommend Samantha to anyone considering a sitter!”

We are fully insured for Dog walking and pet sitting and we can provide the proof of this.

“Vanessa stayed in my house whilst I was away for a week. She kept us updated with videos and msgs. She had plans for a day out in the week which we knew about. As Ted hadn’t been left alone all day before, and the weather was hot, she kindly cut her day short to make sure he was ok. We were very grateful for her kindness doing that and showed us how much she cared for Ted. It was lovely to see Ted happy and settled with her. Vanessa looked after him so well and I know he will miss her. We came home to a clean and tidy house, and a very content dog. Thankyou Vanessa.”
